Pig facilities foro confined production in tropical countries such as Colombia does not
specify, in the present moment a typological classification that allows researchers to carry out
evaluations related to animal comfort and environmental impacts according to the type of
accommodation. To achieve the objective of this research were developed a survey to a panel of
experts, a decision sensitivity analysis and the hierarchical analytical method AHP. Parameters
that allowed to describe the concept of a technified pig farm were obteined, where the most
relevant were: biosecurity measures, measurement of zootechnical parameters, training for
workers and legal fulfilment. Additionally, ranges were defined to establish the production size
in small, medium and large according to the number of animals. The results obtained per group
were: 1) breeding small (50–200), medium (201–1,000) and large (1,001–5,000); 2) growth small
(60–200), medium (201–800) and large (801–5000); and 3) finishing stage small (50–500),
medium (501–1,000) and large (2,001–5,000). A total of 948 typological combinations were
initially determined. Finally, the construction characteristics with the greatest technical and
operational feasibility were prioritized for each group achieving 36 typologies that can represent
the typological pig facilities not only in the state of Antioquia but also in many others states in
Colombia.
